Denver Nuggets forward Aaron
Gordon has agreed to a contract extension with the team, according
to ESPN’s Shams Charania. 

The deal will take the 2023 NBA
Champion through the 2028-2029 season and will have a player option
and a trade kicker. 

This extension kicks in after
Gordon opts into his $23 million salary for 2025-26, adding three
more years at his max salary plus bonuses, totaling $133
million.

The 29-year-old, who was a key
factor to the Nuggets’ championship run in 2023, is now locked in
for the long haul along core members Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray,
and Michael Porter Jr. 

Gordon has been vital to
Denver’s success as he’s often paired with Jokic to form one of the
fearsome offensive options in the league. With how much attention
Jokic draws inside due to his scoring prowess and soft touch in the
paint along with elite playmaking, Gordon has been able to
capitalize by cutting to the basket for some easy lob passes quick
hitters.
